"I've spent all of the love I saved

We were always a losing game"

~ Arcade, Duncan Laurence

Lili was sitting in her trailer, on her phone, she suddenly got a notification, it was her boyfriend. The text said: '

She cried, she really did like her boyfriend, but most of her crying was because she knew he was right. She still liked Cole, and now was the time to finally admit it.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

News had broken out.

Everyone had found out that Lili and her boyfriend ( broke up, and everyone was still waiting for Cole to react to the news.

Cole, well, there were no words to describe how he felt really, he was overjoyed, and Ari noticed that.

Like Lili's boyfriend (or should we say, ex-boyfriend), she too had known that Cole was still in love with Lili. It seemed like everyone who saw the two interact knew that they still had very strong feelings for one another, but again, everyone but Lili and Cole themselves.

Ari decided she needed to do something, anything, to make Cole confess.

Yes, she really did love him, but truth is that if you truly love someone, you'd love to see them happy, even if it's not with you. (

She went to his apartment, and found him in a pretty good mood.

He welcomed her inside with a kiss and asked her if she wanted any food, she said yes and he decided to make her a burger .

He noticed that she was pretty much silent since she came, so he was concerned, When he was making food, she spoke up.

(

A: So, Cole, I've heard that Lili and her boyfriend broke up.

C: Yeah I saw the news, but why bring it up now?

A: Cole, please be honest with me, admit it, please.

C: Admit what, Ari? I've done nothing.

A: You still love her right?

(silence)

A: Yes, you do, Cole. I can see it. Everyone can.

C: What difference does it make now? She doesn't love me.

A: She does, Cole. Could you not see how she looks at you? There's longing and sadness, but most importantly, love, in her eyes. She can make you happy, I know that. Go get her, before it's too late.

C: but... what about..us?

A: We can stay friends of course. I really did love you, Cole, enough to let you go (

C: Thanks Ari, and I am really sorry.

A: It's really okay, don't worry about it. Just, be happy okay?

Cole nodded at her and she left.
